Leonard J. Esse was born in Spokane, Washington on April 21,1951 to Sever and Lillian Esse. He had two brothers, and three sisters. Tom, Wyman, Genevieve, Carolyn, and Wanda. He grew up in the Faith of the Lord Jesus and began his ministry in 1974 when he was just 23 years old. Leonard FAITHFULLY preached the word of God, and eternal salvation of Jesus Christ until his very last breath. He loved every person he came across and was “always prepared to give an answer to everyone who asked to give the reason of the hope” he had in the Lord Jesus Christ. Leonard was survived by his beautiful wife Vivian, and his children Steven, Carlos, Andrea, and Johnny. He loved and treasured his grandchildren, Michael, Lillian, and Zoey. If he had one last thing to say to each and everyone of you reading this, he would ask; “Are you un-packed, and ready to go to Heaven?” He would ask you to think about eternity, and where you plan on spending it. He would want you to be with your Creator, God the Father, and His only Begotten Son who died on the Cross for your sins. Leonard would love to see you in heaven one day. If you would like to join him when you relocate from this earth to eternity, pray this prayer.
Dear God, I know I am a sinner, I know my sin deserves to be punished. I believe Christ died for me and rose from the grave. I trust Jesus Christ alone as my Savior. Thank you for the forgiveness and everlasting life I now have. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen
